Portrait of fear, smoking ban to racism in school 

Kier Starmer’s Portrait of Fear

The Prime Minister has removed the portrait of Margaret Thatcher and placed it in a room rarely used, due to her stature and historical significance.  The “advisors” and I use the word loosely to the PM, according to some sources were afraid to enter the room with the portrait of fear?  This would be understandable if the image was the scene from a terror attack, but to be frightened by a portrait?

Margaret Thatcher

So far the government has stated that it will cut the winter fuel allowance for pensioners, those who are most in need of keeping warm in winter.  The other worry for pensioners is their pensions, what will the government do, will they keep the triple lock, or abandon it and make pensioners worse off?

We have also seen cronyism within 2 months of being in power, the Labour Party have jobs for their mates and donors can enter No. 10 Downing Street on a pass to sit in on meetings.  We must not forget that this is the fault of the previous conservative government.  An interesting idea due to that fact that at this time the Conservatives are basically a shadow Liberal Democrat party in waiting.  I do not know what Margaret Thatcher would think to the current Conservative Party, shame and embarrassment as they all seem to be afraid to stand up and be counted. Maybe they are also afraid of the the Portrait of fear.

Smoking Ban

Another brilliantly misjudged policy from this labour government, ban smoking outside public buildings, stadiums, beer gardens and so on.  There is a major floor in this policy, the Exchequer taxes cigarettes, not just a small amount by £10Billion a year, if you want to ban something that brings in high taxes, and affects many people who voted Labour, what are you telling your supporters?

Enforcing such a ban would be interesting to see, “Landlords to film and report to the police” all those smoking in their beer gardens and smoking sheds.  Extra police needed to patrol the pubs and other public venues to fine and arrest all those smoking in banned areas.  You are smoking in your garden, “Come along with me to the station, you are under arrest for breaking the smoking ban”.

Fixing potholes

The next great plan for this Labour government is to fill all the potholes, this will calm the population and make them feel better about paying higher taxes and being told that if you say something someone else does not like we will arrest you and put you in prison.  If we fill the potholes people who drive will be happy, but wait, we need to increase the road tax because you are using fossil fuels.

Kier Starmer’s plan to tackle the far right? Fill some potholes

The NHS

We must give the NHS more money to fix the waiting lists, well, this would be all well and good, but the problem is there are too much bureaucracy, to many managers and people in power.  The need for Nurses and Doctors is greater that that of managers, get the people who cure or operate, the life savers, not the I’m alright jack, I’m in charge and on a massive salary.

Freedom of Expression

The freedom of expression or freedom of speech is being curtailed more and more under this labour government. It appears that you cannot say certain things like hurty words towards anybody this also includes stating certain facts that somebody might find offensive.

Racism in schools 

Common sense would state that teachers should take children aside who they consider to have been racist towards other children and explain to them where they have gone wrong in what they have said, and how they should respect each other and have them hold a conversation about this subject.

Racism in schools surges with 60 children as young as age four sent home daily

It would appear though that in some school the only way they can deal with this situation is to send the child home on suspension.  What has the child learnt from being sent home?

Talking to Children about racism.

If the Child has not been spoken to, and educated, the teachers take the easy way out by removing the child, they will not understand why they have been suspended. They have not been given the chance to learn from their actions, the teacher has not been trained properly on how to deal with this type of situation.
